The company sought a solution to manage transactions securely, automate invoicing, and ensure PCI compliance while appealing to both small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise customers. Hootsuite evaluated several vendor offerings and chose the Aria Subscription Billing Platform for its rapid deployment capabilities, security features, and support for various pricing plans. The platform enabled Hootsuite to process over 100,000 transactions monthly and provided multi-language support for global customers. The integration of payment connectors allowed for secure online transactions, enhancing customer experience. Since implementing the Aria Platform, Hootsuite has experienced significant growth, increasing its customer base by over 40 percent in six months. The platform has also improved visibility into business performance, enabling various departments to access detailed account data for operational efficiency.
